Biomimetic Cell Membrane‐Coated Scaffolds for Enhanced Tissue Regeneration
This review examines the development and use of cell membrane‐coated scaffolds in tissue engineering. Bioinspired phospholipid and glycocalyx coatings enhance anti‐fouling, anti‐thrombogenic, and selective molecular recognition properties. Native cell membrane coatings further support cell‐specific interactions, immune modulation, and reduced bacterial

Medical Materials and Device Innovation: Choosing the Right and Relevant Biological Models
Choosing the right disease model is key to safe, effective medical innovation. When models reflect human biology and clinical needs, they improve translation, reduce risk, and accelerate progress. Advances in 3D tissues, organ‐on‐chip, and humanized systems offer exciting opportunities. With thoughtful selection and clinician input, biomedical research

Osteoblast‐CD4+ CTL Crosstalk Mediated by SIRT1/DAAM2 Axis Prevents Age‐Related Bone Loss
In the osteoblastic niche, SIRT1 activates and recruits CD4+ CTLs by increasing DAAM2 expression via EZH2 deacetylation and boosting the secretion of key chemokines, such as CCL3, CCL5, and CXCL10. Then, CD4+ CTL directly eliminates senescent osteoblasts in an MHC‐II‐dependent way, thereby slowing down the process of bone ageing and effectively ...

Weak and Tunable Adhesion–Clutch Drives Rapid Cell Migration and Glioblastoma Invasion
This study proposes that adhesion–clutch can mediate both cell motility and immobilization depending on the force amplitude. Weak adhesion–clutch is well‐suited for cell migration, without forming strong adhesions that impede cell motility. It propels rapid dendritic cell migration controlled by extracellular chemicals, as well as pathologically ...
